Lemon bars are the perfect light dessert for these balmy days of summer. It's lemon season on the west coast, so this recipe will be perfect for my friends who have trees that are producing lemons at an epic pace. Fluffy and delicious, these lemon bars are best served with a cold glass of sparkling water or a black iced tea.
